These are Anime 100-word challenge stories I'm writing for a LIVE JOURNAL community. ( ) Live Journal is a mix of online diaries (Blogging) and topical message boards. I listed 3 of them here.
Some writers (like me) with only limited time to write each week, find these challenges FUN! If you want to try it, the live journal community (message board) for the Anime 100-word challenge is at
Story #1
Challenge: #11, Facing down your Nemesis.
Word Count: 100 exact, including title.
Demon
A whisper of sound caused him to turn and spy the demon slowly stalking him.
Hair covered its body, its claws were razor sharp and inhuman eyes glowed
bright as it watched his every move.
Terror gripped his soul and the demon sensed it, it wanted to "play."
He knew if he ran, it would be on him in seconds,
driving him insane.
He must face it and show no fear. He was a man, not a mouse!
It approached and for once, he struck first.
Now what do I do? wondered Ranma, holding the kitten
at arms length.

There, that was my first 100-word challenge entry.
BTW, Ranma's "Nemesis" was not the kitten itself, but his
own fear of it; or as FDR said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
There are two more stories, posted here
at FF.net as chapters 2 & 3.
Remember to please post a review if you liked (or hated) these short stories, Thanks!
